Everything we see is simply an imitation of an imitation.[1]
During the Easter holidays I went and saw the film Mary and Max. The director, Adam Eliot has chosen to represent many real life issues (which we all recognize and can relate to) through clay animation. This film offers a commentary on real actions, morals and beliefs in a positive, humorous way. It provides a reflection of the world and how most of us feel, have felt or will feel, for instance- lonely and depressed. The wonderful thing Eliot has done is to give the audience hope by giving Mary and Max not happiness but strength through their friendship. This representation on social issues is a nice way of being honest without being painfully realistic.
